Programming, scripting, and markup languages

Rust is yet again the most admired programming language (72%), followed by Gleam (70%), Elixir (66%) and Zig (64%). Gleam is a new addition to the list, and for good reason - developers like it!
Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.)

Oh my gosh! Gleam got #2 most admired programming language in the Stack Overflow survey!
We're on the podium with Rust and Elixir!

Covington, Kentucky police arrested journalist Madeline Fening, one of my best friends, yesterday for lawfully covering a peaceful protest against ICE's detention of a local children's hospital chaplain. They held her overnight and charged her with a felony.

Last night, Covington police beat and arrested peaceful protesters. These are my comrades that didn't deserve the awful treatment doled out by the police.

You can see the rapid escalation in these videos.

If you see AI videos of a man in a Guy Fawkes mask speaking and pretending to be Anonymous, those are fake and are being generated by MAGA. Be aware and know the signs.

It's cringe, don't fall for it.

Yet another reason to get off Gmail and try to lessen your reliance on Google altogether. There are plenty of good alternatives. I use ProtonMail, for example.

Over 1200 protests erupt today. Each individual act is a fracture in their illusion of control. You are not waiting. You are not asking. You are the uprising. The cracks are spreading. The ground is shifting. Stand proud. Fight hard. We are many. We are furious. And we are just getting started. #3E

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis.
If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.
